Chapter 38: Keep

Chapter 38

Shen Shuyao was a little scared. She didn't understand what the man wanted to do, just because of that one night, he signed her?

Suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, could it be that he wanted to keep her as a mistress? ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Ji Nian looked at the female lead suddenly hiding behind her, feeling a little embarrassed, and turned to ask quietly: "Shuyao, what's wrong?"

Shen Shuyao shook her head. Her eyes were like a frightened rabbit, and she said, "I want to go back."

How could she go back now? Ji Nian was shocked. If she went back, how would the plot go on? She hurriedly pulled the woman out from behind her and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm with you."

Shen Shuyao was really scared now. This man made her feel very dangerous. Why did he want to sign her?

At this point, the two managers were also looking confused. Liu Yi was also surprised. This top rich man, women would normally rush at him in droves. This was the first time he had seen one wanting to avoid him.

Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows, became interested, waved his hand to signal Liu Yi to let the two managers leave.

Now in the office, there was only Ji Nian and the male lead looking at each other, while Shen Shuyao kept her head low, anxiously holding her hand.

"Ahem..." Ji Nian awkwardly cleared her throat and said hoarsely, "Uh, Mr. Ye, please understand... our Shuyao is a little shy... uh, well... she has social anxiety disorder..."

Ji Nian was also extremely nervous, even stuttering as she spoke. As expected of the male lead, his aura was too powerful.

It was only then that Ye Jingzhan noticed this woman. He saw that she was wearing a mask and plain T-shirt and jeans.

He frowned, his eyes became even colder. He didn't like having strange women so close in his field of vision.

"Miss, I need to be alone with Miss Shen..."

"Of course! I'll go out right away!" Before the male lead could even finish speaking, Ji Nian immediately gave the female lead a look wishing her good luck, and rushed out the door without stopping. Her speed, her reaction.

Even Ye Jingzhan was taken aback for a moment. Usually those women would desperately find excuses to get close to him, right? But now, they were avoiding him like he was a monster?

"What do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Shen Shuyao asked.

Ye Jingzhan looked back at the woman who had suddenly calmed down. "I thought Miss Shen would understand."

"You want to keep me as a mistress?" Shen Shuyao laughed. Suddenly a surge of anger rose in her heart.

Ye Jingzhan raised his eyebrows. Mistress? Not a bad term. But at first, he just wanted to keep this woman under his nose.

With her saying it like this, he thought about it. Keeping a mistress was indeed a good method. It was his first time being intimate with a woman, and the feeling wasn't bad. He could try more.

"Mr. Ye is joking." Shen Shuyao's expression turned cold. "I won't sell my body."

Ye Jingzhan nodded. "If Miss Shen wants to think it through, unwanted artists from Huayu won't be wanted at other companies either..."

"What do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Shen Shuyao was threatened, shock in her eyes.

"Stay by my side." Ye Jingzhan said coldly. The chill in his eyes made people shudder.

After hearing this, Shen Shuyao's whole body trembled with anger. She had never seen such a shameless person before. Now she wasn't afraid at all, glaring at the man.

At this time outside, Ji Nian was still trying hard to get close with Liu Yi, thinking that getting close to the people around the male lead was a good idea.

But this Assistant Liu really lived up to being by the male lead's side. He was very vigilant and barely spoke to her. It was all Ji Nian occasionally murmuring to herself, making the situation quite awkward.

She boredly took out her phone and browsed Weibo. She discovered the female lead had really blown up. Her video edits were all over the internet, just like how the novel described, she became famous overnight.

Liu Yi here was also curiously looking at her. This woman wearing a mask, he didn't know who she was.

But she seemed to be trying very hard to get close to him? He sneered to himself. Indeed women were all the same, they would try to flatter when seeing a rich person.

As an assistant, he was also often approached by people with ulterior motives, trying to find opportunities to meet higher-ups. Having been by the president's side for years, he had seen this kind of thing a lot. His eyes inevitably held some contempt.
